Question

101 fever but gone now, threw up 3 times, was lethargic but is 100% fine now!?

I have a 22 month old son. Yesterday my husbands cousins little boy had his 6th birthday & it was @ the park because it was sunny yesterday and the high was 62. I personally didn't like the idea cause it was windy which made it colder. He ran around all over the place &sliding down the slide. We were about to leave & he's very attached to my MIL. He was crying when I had to take him but wasn't crying hard. After he was done crying the next thing I knew he started to throw up! I thought maybe from all the running around? After that he threw up in my MIL's kitchen about 15 minutes after the 1st one. He had a fever of 101. Lethargic & falling asleep. Gave him Tylenol. Threw up 15 min. later in carseat when we left. Gave him bath & he was playing and acting 100% normal! Watched tv while drinking pedialyte and chowing down on saltines. Temp was at 99. Slept all night and woke up with 99 temp but was happy and he's playing and acting totally normal! Any ideas?! I just find it so odd!

I wanted to add that he didn't have any BM's during that time period so therefore no diarrhea. He was on his normal everyday schedule yesterday. Woke up, ate breakfast, played, ate lunch, took a nap from 12:30-2:30. Ate a snack. Then went to the party. He wasn't interested in the party food because he just wanted to run around and play! We have noticed in the past when he runs a lot he starts to cough which is what he was doing yesterday. His nose also began to run from the running around and cold. We dressed him warmly. He rarely is ever sick. I'm just lost as to what happened! Now he's totally fine! So confused!
